The park, which consists of natural forest areas and planting areas in the orchards, is made up of areas with arboreal plants having a predominantly natural connotation and areas of the Urban Farm, cultivated and clearly more designed. Agricultural production activities are integrated with educational activities in different areas of the public park. The Urban Farm has a simple distribution structure, which facilitates the revival of the settlement pattern in other areas and makes it possible to identify in the “social farm” the ideal management model with regards to territorial impact.
The internal roads are structured on a hierarchical system of primary and secondary routes, driveways and bicycle tracks that connect with the surrounding roads. The secondary routes and trails are a network of capillary connections between individual areas within the Park.
